The existence of consciousness provides no evidence whatsoever for anything very much. We do not understand consciousness; we do not even have the conceptual framework to think or discourse clearly on the subject. Attempting to use it as evidence for the existence (or non-existence for that matter) of God or anything else is a complete and utter dead end.
We are vigilant.

I could.

Organized bits of matter does not create a consciousness.

Millions of geniuses have believed in a god, whether defined by a known religion or not.


The point you make is that "Organized bits of matter does not create a consciousness." Prove it. Are you just trying to use your logic to make such an assumption without ANY FACTS to support you? Well unfortunately for you according to biology, amino acids were able to be formed experimentally when enough heat or pressure was applied to certain elements. As we evolve there is a good possibility that consciousness will come about. If we all thought the way you did, we would still be living in the stone age thinking only God can unravel the mysteries of life. From monkeys we came, not Adam and Eve, not God.

Please, do not mix religion with science, science has no room for religion. Just because we are conscious of ourselves doesnt mean it is impossible for evolution to create us that way. Yet your theories about a God are still unproven in the domain of science. Stick to morality and religion, thats where God was invented, and thats where God should remain. He has no business in the realm of science.

When Galileo was asked where God fit into his equations and explanations, he simply replied "I have no need for such a hypothesis."

EDIT: Scientifically there should be no reason why God exists either.

I havnt really followed the whole thread but...to reply to the Post:
If one of 5*10^~100, or any finite number, things occurs regulary in an infinite amount of time, _all_ of the things would occur sooner or later. And second, doesnt that high number just give the possibility that a human would pop out of nowhere?

Whoo I come too late to this topic. 21pages... Well I just answer to the first post and say. That number is something some christian pulled out of some random hole in his body. I guess someone have said this already but anyway. Have a nice day and if you didn't know. God does not exist and there is proof for the evolution.

Its not "randomness" by the way, atoms makes complex and more complex structures, leading to a lifeform is unevitable, it doesnt matter how many randomness in the big bang is, it will always create a lifeform, and probably with time superior atom masses, pure energy benigs maybe, who knows.

But its stupid to think this is a "random" event, cause its not, its a natural, logic, non-created step in universe expansion.


BTW stimey its good to see im not in your ignore list anymore, and its even better to see that actually you are smart enough to have a little bit of introspection and fine criticism.

Actually, Tien, scientists haven't proved that if you mix up chemicals and heat them or zap them with a spark, them will form persistent amino acids. They do form aminos, but the aminos quickly separate again. The scientists have to screen harmful light, remove linked aminos, cleanse the ingredients, etc. to actually keep some form of amino acids. In other words, scientists have proved that chance just won't cut it. Intelligent life has to be there to sort everything out.

I must also add that science has its roots in Christianity. That's right, without Christianity science wouldn't be where it is today. You see, ancient people used to think the world was made of god-like things. The rivers, the plants, the sun, they were all divine. But then Christianity came along and those things weren't divine anymore, they were part of our world. Being part of our world and being entrusted to us in Genesis, we were free to explore them through science. Nowadays, however, science has drifted away from religion, which is probably why you say "science has no room for religion". Still, we can't ignore history.

I hope I made myself clear.

Rugbug, the thing is that they never inserted their religon into their scientific work. The fact that a few important people were christian doesn't subtract from the fact that the christian church as a whole has held back science for hundreds of years.

god, I'm so incredibly tired of people fucking that up.

it's not 5000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 or ANY NUMBER. even if the number has a fucking BAZILLION 0's in it. if you write a number, it DOES NOT WORK.

it's an INFINITE amount of monkeys with an INFINITE amount of typewriters.

in fact, if you give an infinite amount of monkeys an infinite amount of typewriters, you'll reproduce an infinite amount of shakespeare's works. you'll also have an infinite amount of papers going 784237214g32krjbasjfbdsafta78t4wntkdzxbhg7xh789t45ehstlrh5u

What the hell are you talking about. I didn't use the existence of consciousness as evidence for anything, only to show that things aren't so fucking simple.

Explain how evolution of a physical being can create self-awareness. How does any physical part of me allow me to recognize the fact that I exist. Wow, good job dumbass.

So travis, if I understand correctly it is more likely that some kind of thing that's NOT matter creates our consiousness, something that cannot be seen or weighed, something that's impossible to prove the existence of, but nontheless floats somewhere around in our heads?
